Take a Break From Your Job Search

1. Make Yourself Lunch

While it’s tempting to just grab whatever snacks are handy and munch away while searching job listings online, a better solution for your middle-of-the-day cravings is to make your own lunch.

Not only is it less expensive and healthier than eating out or just forgoing lunch altogether, it’s also a nice timeout from your job search. The routine activities of making a sandwich or a salad can have a calming effect, and you don’t need to be a Top Chef contestant to put cold cuts, cheese, veggies and condiments (or peanut butter and jelly, for that matter) between two pieces of bread.
